Taking place on Mackinac Island, The Pink Pony features protagonist Burr Lafayette, recently divorced and the deposed head of the litigation department of a major Detroit law firm. He is recruited to defend Murdo Halverson, a wealthy manufacturer from Grosse Pointe. The prosecutor has damning evidence and witnesses that make his client look guilty.
